Bangladesh Bank yesterday withdrew its internal advisory on workplace attire following an instruction from Governor Ahsan H Mansur amid widespread criticism.
She concluded her post by criticising the societal obsession with controlling women. “This is the harsh reality we face daily. Society seems obsessed with ‘fixing’ women as if that’s the ultimate virtue. But let me say this: it is your own actions that determine your path, not your control over others, and certainly not over women.”
The Bangladesh Bank has issued a dress code for its officials and employees, suggesting female workers refrain from wearing short-sleeved and short-length dresses, and leggings while on duty.
